Abstract
I will consider some new developments in absolute measures of helicity (as opposed to measures relative to a vacuum field). These measures are defined for arbitrary foliations of space by simply connected surfaces (e.g. start with a set of nested spheres with spherical coordinates, then deform the spheres). They are based on generalizations of Poloidal-Toroidal decompositions. One application lies in measuring the helicity contained within the Northern hemisphere interior of the sun (or Southern hemisphere).
